Las Vegas; February 26, 2002-The Second Cher
Convention comes to Las Vegas this summer with a full schedule of Cher tributes,
Cher memorabilia, Cher auctions, Cher films, Cher photos, Cher music, Cher
seminars, Cher karaoke, a Cher museum, and…well, you get the general idea-a
fun filled event honoring Cher. It’s a chance for her fans from around the
world to get together and share the appreciation of the woman they call one of
our greatest entertainers. The convention will also include a recreation of The
Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour by British performers, a Cher Impersonator Show,
and the band “GIRL,” from Texas, performing Cher’s songs.

Cher Convention 2002 will be held at the Riviera Hotel, July 12th
and 13th. The
inaugural convention was held in July of 2000, in Chicago and exceeded all
expectations for attendance and participation. Volunteer Cher fans from across
the U.S. organize the convention. Additional information on the convention can
be obtained at www.cherconvention.com <http://www.cherconvention.com>.

All proceeds raised at the convention goes to a great cause: the Children’s
Craniofacial Association (CCA). Cher first became involved with CCA following
her award winning performance in “Mask,” in which she played the mother of a
boy born with a severe facial disfigurement. Cher is the National Spokesperson
for CCA, and often attends the organization’s events, particularly the yearly
retreat for the CCA kids and their families. Cher also visits affected children
and invites them to her shows across the country. The convention was conceived
as a unique way of honoring Cher by supporting a cause in which she deeply
believes. Additional information about CCA can be found at www.ccakids.com
